net calories

So if my goal is 1200/day, if I consume 1200 but burn off 300 working out - that's not good? I should eat an additional 300 calories? That seems pointless I guess! Why not just eat the 1200 and be done with it? I want to workout because it seems like that's what I should be doing but I thought the point was to burn more calories that you take in?
